1 A sị na m na-asụ asụsụ dị iche iche nke ndị mmadụ maọbụ nke ndị mmụọ ozi, ma ahụghị m mmadụ ibe m nʼanya, abụ m naanị ogene na-eme ụzụ maọbụ mbadamba efere na-ada ụda.
If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal.
2 A sịkwa na m nwere onyinye ibu amụma, bụrụ onye pụrụ ikwu ihe niile gaje ime nʼoge dị nʼihu, na onye maara ihe niile, a sịkwa na m nwere okwukwe nke m pụrụ isite na ya nye ugwu buru ibu iwu sị ya site nʼebe ọ nọ gaa nʼebe ọzọ, ma ahụghị m mmadụ ibe m nʼanya, abụghị m ihe ọbụla.
And if I have [the gift of] prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
3 A sịkwa na m ewere ihe niile m nwere nye ndị ogbenye, werekwa anụ ahụ m nye ka ere ya ọkụ nʼihi ka m nyaa isi, ihe ndị a niile abaghị uru, ma m enweghị ịhụnanya.
And if I bestow all my goods to feed [the poor], and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profiteth me nothing.
4 Ịhụnanya na-enwe ogologo ntachiobi, na-enwekwa obi ebere. Ọ dịghị ekwo ekworo, ọ naghị enwe anya ukwu, ọ naghị anya isi. Ọ nakwaghị ebuli onwe ya elu.
Love suffereth long, [and] is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5 Ọ naghị eme ihe na-akpasu iwe, ọ naghị achọ ihe nke naanị ya, ọ naghị ewe iwe ọsịịsọ. Ọ nakwaghị agụkọ ihe ọjọọ niile e mere ya.
doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not its own, is not provoked, taketh not account of evil;
6 Ọ dịghị aṅụrị ọṅụ nʼihe ọjọọ, kama ọ na-aṅụrị nʼeziokwu.
rejoiceth not in unrighteousness, but rejoiceth with the truth;
7 Ọ na-edi ihe niile, ọ na-ekwerekwa ihe niile, ọ na-enwekwa olileanya na-anagide ihe ọbụla dapụtara.
beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
8 Ịhụnanya adịghị agwụ agwụ. Ma ibu amụma niile ga-emesịa kwụsị, onyinye ịsụ asụsụ dị iche iche ga-akwụsịkwa. Otu a, ihe ọmụma niile ga-agabiga.
Love never faileth: but whether [there be] prophecies, they shall be done away; whether [there be] tongues, they shall cease; whether [there be] knowledge, it shall be done away.
9 Nʼihi na ọmụma anyị ezughị oke, ibu amụma anyị ezukwaghị oke.
For we know in part, and we prophesy in part;
10 Ma mgbe anyị ruru nʼizuoke, ezughị oke agaghị adịkwa.
but when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away.
11 Mgbe m bụ nwata, ekwuru m okwu dịka nwata, echiche m niile bụ echiche nwata. Izuzu obi m niile bụkwa nke nwata. Ma mgbe m toro ghọọ dimkpa, adịghịkwa m akpa agwa dịka nwata ọzọ.
When I was a child, I spake as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child: now that I am become a man, I have put away childish things.
12 Ugbu a, anyị na-ahụ inyogho inyogho dịka anyị na-ele anya nʼenyo ma mgbe ahụ anyị ga-ahụ ihu na ihu. Ugbu a, ihe m mara ezughị oke, ma mgbe ahụ aga m amazu, dịka m bụ onye a mazuru.
For now we see in a mirror, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know fully even as also I was fully known.
13 Ọ dị ihe atọ na-adịgide adịgide. Ha bụ okwukwe, olileanya, na ịhụnanya. Ma nʼime ha niile, ihe kachasị ha niile bụ ịhụnanya.
But now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these is love.
